Excited to join @AnimationMag at next week’s World Animation Summit for a keynote chat with Tasha Huo (@Tasha3point0) and Sam Riegel (@samriegel) on making ‘The Mighty Nein’ for Prime Video. Can’t wait? Read my recent interview with the Critical Role team — link in comments!
Loved talking with Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han about how their longtime creative circle shaped 'Little Amélie.' A fascinating look at what happens when a seasoned 2D team carries years of shared vocabulary into a debut feature. Thank you @animag for the opportunity!
When Little Amélie or the Character of Rain premiered earlier this year in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, it was lauded for its bold graphic visual style and heartfelt story adapted from Amélie Nothomb’s bestselling autobiographical novel.

Yes, 'Fixed' is filthy. But it’s also Genndy Tartakovsky in peak form — bold, inventive, and fiercely loyal to the craft of animation. Always an honor to interview this legend. Thank you, @AnimationMag!
It takes balls to make a movie like Fixed — and Genndy Tartakovsky didn’t flinch. A gloriously raunchy R-rated comedy about a dog’s last hurrah before the big snip, Fixed is also an expertly crafted homage to the golden age of cartoons.
